The Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program is a key component of the federal government’s
law enforcement efforts to combat major criminal activity by disrupting and dismantling illegal
enterprises, depriving criminals of the proceeds of illegal activity, deterring crime and restoring
property to victims.
The U.S. Marshals Service plays a critical role in identifying and evaluating assets that represent the
proceeds of crime as well as efficiently managing and selling assets seized and forfeited by DOJ.
The Marshals Service manages a wide array of assets, including real estate, commercial businesses,
cash, financial instruments, vehicles, jewelry, art, antiques, collectibles, vessels and aircraft.
